I would say it depends on what other rifles you have. I have several pcp rifles already so I recently purchased a QB78 CO2 target rifle. I've had fun tuning it down in power to make it more quiet and to increase shot count. It's a terrific little plinker and informal ten meter target rifle once you show it a little TLC. Mine is actually the Beeman AR2078B sidelever in .177. It's only about $160 on Amazon. It does take a little massaging to turn a decent rifle into a great rifle. Nothing overly complicated though and there are lots of videos online to help.

They are completely different one is a PCP the Chief , and the other a CO2.
If you have a PCP compressor , or hand pump.? I owned a Beeman Chief , it's heavy single shot, loud , and no way to attach a Moderator.

Not a threaded barrel. If you have a way to fill a PCP for a first one might I suggest a BARRA 1100Z.

I also recommend exploring other options before you buy. The NOTOS being one of them. I'm not saying your choices are not worthy. I'm just saying the recent market is full of comparable options.
Matter of fact.. there is a NOTOS in the classifieds here for a couple hundred bucks. (not mine and not affiliated with the seller)

I had the qb 79 and added a cheap regulator off eBay. It worked great. I also added a threaded barrel attachment that used a set screw to mount so you could add a moderator. That was also purchased on eBay. It worked great as well.
If I were in the market I'd buy the qb chief 2. It has a moderator AND is magazine fed.
Amazon has the qb 79 for a STEAL though...shhhh....
